Will post pic's as assembly progresses. It's about time!!:thumbsup:

 

that was quick!

 

Let that cat out of the bag! We wana see!

:LOL::|:|:thumbsup:

 

Had a constructive day today:thumbsup:

[/URL][/IMG]Oil pick up, sump, rocker covers,timing kit, a bit of a hold up with the timing, the wrong top idler was supplied so will complete that on Monday, plenty to carry on with

 

Looking real good! How'd you go with the det sensor wiring

did you discover the coaxial wire?

 

Think I got it sorted. Time will tell. Did you notice that I will now be

able to access the det sensor in car. Thats the loom hanging out the back of the engine. Very neat

 

Another quiet day in the office. It's getting there

Any of you that have removed/replaced turbo's in car , I take my hat off to you:thumbsup:

 

she's going to look awesome when she's all finished!!

 

here's one I prepared earlier. And I've still got a boot full of chrome,

blue painted things, and Caz1's S/Steel hard pipes yet [/URL][/IMG]

 

Shit, I hate it when the pic doesn't re-size, Sorry:LOL:

 

Looking good!! Are they stock turbos? Also did you chrome the heat

shield??

 

Stock turbo's re-built. Heatshields chromed, but a bit pissed that

when I started cleaning everthing up to put it together last Wed. i found two more (drivers side- turbo shield and dump) that I had missed. you can se them in the EGR removal thread. Rang ALL the electroplaters around and it takes two to three weeks so i decided not to do them cause I didn't want to delay the job any longer. Won't be able to see most of it anyway.As i put (am putting) it back together I keep finding more and more I could have chromed. Engine and TX dipstick pipes, turbo drains, brackets etc, As i said I've still got a boot full of bling to add. More pic's as more gets done. Held up at the moment because the incorrect top idler pulley was supplied for the timing belt. All new pulleys, Tensioner,Belt

 

Re: the bits you missed for chroming

how about a bit of heat proof black on those - then you wont notice them in amongst all the bling

PS. I do hope you are going to paint the bolt head for the harmonic balancer - very shabby! :LOL:

 

Will look great once it's all done, have you sprayed your heads with

any type of paint?

 

Did bugger all today. Took the granddaughter to see some

doco. about Penguins. No the heads are au-natural, and I dare anyone to see the H/B bolt head in car, but now you mention it I havn't painted the H/B, it was with all the rotating bits at the balancer's. :zlove:

 

Got a heap done today, nearly ready to drop in:thumbsup:

thats got to be some sort of record for an engine rebuild!

 

Can I suggest you change that engine pully before you put

it back in the car. You know a lightened one.

 

Afraid I won't entertain the idea. It'a harmonic balancer ,and

Nissan put one of that mass on a V6 for a good reason. I'll stay OUT of the Aluminium Under drive pulley argument thank-you.

 

P.S. Fleet,I don't know if you'r having a go at me or what,

But I started pulling this thing out in Jan. (the old,wrongly named Engine Re-build thead):LOL::LOL:
